Gary-
We send our empty solder paste containers back with our solder dross, in a
separate container, to be reclaimed. I guess they burn up the containers,
reclaim any available metal, and use the plastic as fuel for the furnace.
They have all the necessary scrubbers, environmental gadgets, that a metal
smelter must have. Check with your dross reclamation company. We use
Alpha.

Subject: [TN] Solder paste disposal
Hi
Can anyone offer advice on the disposal (environmentally friendly) of the
empty solder paste tubes?
Does anyone clean the empty tube of solder paste residue leaving just
the disposal of the plastic? If you do, how do you do it safely? Do you
then rely on evaporation to recover the solids?
What advice can anyone offer on disposal of the solder paste solids?
Also how is the industry handling the disposal of Nickel - cadmium
batteries?
Any info on the above would be appreciated.
Thanks - Garry Beaumont
